The stock L28E is a nice engine by itself, and its stock compression ratio is pretty good for a turbo conversion. It puts out 170HP NA @ 5600RPM, with a compression ratio of 8.3:1. Small turbo + better injectors and fuel pump + aftermarket ECU, you can probably feed it 6 1/2 pounds and go north of 220HP...
Matt forcing hes younger brother to buy a burnout car after Mere told him no.😂 "it's not mine Mere its Drews" 😂😂 Matt your not hiding anything we know it's your car.
I know it's a joke, but either of them tries to turn that things into a burnout car, some body needs to beat them senseless. Destroy the wrecked vette if you want, but that Z is too clean.
I haven't seen one of those in such amazing condition since the 80's. Don't wreck it, it deserves a restomod, better brakes, suspension and maybe an NA RB engine.
That is one of the cleanest Datsun's I've seen just bought used like that. That guy took really good care of that car from just the look we got. I am very jealous of Drewski.
My First Mustang as soon as Nathaniel said “stop videotaping everything I say dad” (what 5 year old says videotaping these days?!) you got yourself a new sub. Look forward to seeing what you both do with that mustang!
Also, I have a Mustang as well. 2017 GT Performance Pack. Special ordered a 2013 GT Track Pack back in 2012, sold it in 2015, regretted it, and got my new 2017 GT-PP in July of that year. People underestimate the 5.0 Coyote, but it's a hell of motor. 👍🏻
MudRunner2005 Ohhhh the Coyote swap temptations. That’d be my ultimate resto-mod. I’m sure the late-models are a ton of fun, congrats on the new stang. Matt, give us more Corvette action!
@@MyFirstMustang You should do it. "V-Tuned" is a UA-cam channel, and he's tearing apart a 65 Mustang right now, to restore, rebuild, and swap in a 5.0 Coyote and trans. You should check out his channel. Might inspire you to do the Cotote swap on your's. 👍🏻
I kinda like my grey hairs.. Im pushing 50. And i have had more ladies complement on how distinguished i look.. Of course they could just be kidding me. Lol..
I had the 1979 280z and loved it! It was quick for the time and had a fantastic top end. I remember well how light the backend was in the rain so watch out. I would love to find one again!!
Drew you are going to love that car. I've had 3 240z and loved every one of them. Put an oversized cam and a performance header on it and you will have a screaming machine. It will put most v8's to shame.
@Gamer Lix I originally heard it from Mighty Car Mods. The whole quote goes I'd rather lose by mile because I built my own car then win by an inch because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story so don't let someone else write the book.
All my childhood, my dad had a 280 z in the driveway. It was mustard yellow, and he would drool over how clean Drew’s car is! Nice find, have fun in that thing!!
I had a 1980 280ZX and LOVED it. Wish I still had it along with my 1978 Cougar, luck I never got a ticket with either 1. Probably deserved several. Hope your brother enjoys his 280Z.
Hey Matt that "thing" the dude was pulling on the trailer was a Dirt Modified. If you thought it looked fun on a trailer you should check out and support a local dirt track and watch em run!!
In Germany, we have the saying "Probieren geht über studieren" which roughly translates to "Trying goes over studying" which is always a strange thing for us germans because we love to study things before we try it out :P By god, get this trailer brakes checked!
This is awesome! Me and my buddy are restoring an 82' 280zx right now in Plano that was his father's and it's such a fun car to work on. Drewski needs to be convinced to drop an LS3 in that thing and make it the most fun track car/ daily ever!!!
I'm a member at that climbing gym in Dallas you guys were by, Summit. They have several locations but you would like that one if you were ever in the area with more time. That gym is usually set with a lot of powerful climbs and you're a powerful dude.
You will love it. I had that exact car and it was awesome. I lost my license Drag racing it on the streets. I was super fast. I used to bet IROC AND 5.0 mustang's with it all the time.
Go with T3 for the suspention components. Super solid guys there. I had a bunch of their parts on my AE86, and my buddy has a bunch of their parts on his 510.
Lower it some , staggered deep dish wheels . Front lip . Tinted windows . A nice cold air intake and a better flowing exhaust (not loud) . And the rear window louvre.
Already has the bumpers ditch the 280 front valance and change to the 240z turn signals, I remember not even that long ago these were a dime a dozen like all other cars these days
Love these old Datsun's!!! Awesome cars!!! Things started to change when they changed to Nissan but were still good cars until the fatal merger with Renault in 2000. Totally crap now.
Nice thing about those engines is that the solid throttle linkage always feels so great! And also you don't have to deal with the awful SU carbs that comes in the earlier models. Great car!
I had a 240Z back in the day, loved, loved, loved that car! I hope that Drew keeps it mostly stock, upgrade some stuff, but keep it stock. It’s a real drivers car. Enjoy! Cheers from Tokyo!
@ArmchairWarrior I respect your opinion but I have to disagree; I've had my Murano for basically 2 years, and I've long felt she has a soul...a spirit of reliability and perseverance that still contains a sense of fun and speed. I certainly can't think of any other AWD vehicles that top out at 195kph, at least in the CUV/SUV market ;)
I had a 1972 240Z IN 1973 to 74 and then a 1974 260Z in 1976 to 77 and then went to a 1974 260Z 2+2 from 1978 to 1980. Miss all of them badly. Drove them on the back highways of Colorado and missed the cops.
Love the car Drewski! Have you noticed Matts voice changes when he drives Earl? The Texas good ole boy accent comes out! Earl is a beast! Y’all should do more videos together! And take Mark along! I wanna hear the 3 of y’all laughing, oh and take Dr. Lee along to moderate! Love y’all!
Looks like a 2020 C8 Corvette...Or is it a new Camaro? I haven't kept up with Chevy's since they destroyed the Camaro's legacy in 2010 with that fugly new body style...
yeahhhhh but you ain't gonna wall tap that OR catch it on fire...both of which he told Cleeter he would do. You can't just go back on your freedom promises like that. It's just not done.
They're totally different animals. Are they both trucks? Sure...but the Raptor aint pullin any real loads and the Cummins aint as much of a toy(although it could be both pretty easily...but at the sacrifice of economy and reliability).
It’s official, I’m a Cummins fan! They’re clearly the best, FIGHT ME Chevy and Ford owners!!!
Can I fight you? I don't have a car XC
It depends on what Ford diesel your talking about if it's a 7.3 diesel many would disagree!
77 great year ! 7.3 diesel best engine ever !
Are you going to fight yourself seeing you are a ford owner
I have a Cummins in my F-350 🤪😆👍
That is exceptionally clean. The guy definitely took care of it.
Wishin I had me one right now, or even a 240SX, dang I almost bought one, I culda had a screamer!!!
I cant wait for the time Earl brings the bronco home
After 2 and a half years, I doubt that the Bronco gets finished this school year. It went to the school before Bunker Branding was selling shirts.
shane chase the bronco brings earl home
bronco will bring bronco home
Bronco is gone. Never gonna be finished.
@@FishFind3000 He just filled us in on the Broncos 2 months ago, you impatient rock biter.
Have a look at what Mighty Car Mods did with their 240z. They stuck a turbocharged RB26 in it.

Matt and I are the same age. We also share an equal amount of grey...
From experience I can tell you that gray hairs are good, in that they are hairs that are still attached to your head.

Honestly? With all the punishment I put my Murano through, I'm more than impressed with Nissan.
yup before Renault stepped in back in 2000. Best Datsun/Nissan cars were built in Japan!!!

@ArmchairWarrior I respect your opinion but I have to disagree; I've had my Murano for basically 2 years, and I've long felt she has a soul...a spirit of reliability and perseverance that still contains a sense of fun and speed.

He already said he doesn't want to wreck it so it won't be used in such a destructive method.
If you’re dropping a new engine it makes more sense to get a cheap base model that isn’t running.

Hey Matt if. You’re such a big cummins Ram fan maybe you should sell the raptor...
Didn’t think so. 😏
He views it as different categories raptor is a fun truck . Earl is a work horse
They're totally different animals. Are they both trucks? Sure...but the Raptor aint pullin any real loads and the Cummins aint as much of a toy(although it could be both pretty easily...but at the sacrifice of economy and reliability).
tell dodge to make a fun truck and maybe he will xD
